We get good at driving hard, making big moves, and making fast experienced judgments. We know however, from years on our journey, that we also need to moderate our approach and "soften our gaze" to embrace a gentler, more compassionate perspective towards ourselves and the world around us. It's good to be hyper-focused and appreciate the broader picture and the beauty of life and all its imperfections. When we soften our gaze, we allow ourselves to see differently and recognize the inherent value and potential in every situation. This approach fosters empathy, patience, and a deeper connection with our surroundings. It encourages us to move through life with a sense of grace and acceptance, understanding that growth and progress often come in subtle, nuanced ways. By softening our gaze, we open our hearts and minds to new possibilities, reducing stress and enhancing our overall well-being. When we embrace this practice as a cornerstone of our high-performance journey, it allows us to move toward a life filled with, meaning, insight, and profound fulfillment
